SELF-CARE

Immersive Winter Wellbeing

We love the idea of slowing down and embracing immersive wellbeing, especially during the holiday season. With the fast-paced nature of our lives, sometimes the best gift we can give ourselves is time – time to reconnect, recharge, and take a step back from technology and everyday stressors.

This winter, why not make self-care the centre of your festivities with a focus on winter wellness, mindful holiday escapes, and nature retreats?

Mindful Walks in Nature

One of the simplest ways to nurture your mental and physical health during winter is by stepping outside. Nature has a unique ability to calm our minds, and even in the cooler months, there’s so much beauty to be found. Wrap up warm, head to your nearest park or woodland, and take in the stillness of nature.

The act of walking mindfully – focusing on your breath, the sounds around you, and the feeling of the ground beneath your feet – can help reduce anxiety and create a sense of peace. The holiday season can feel overwhelming, but a mindful walk allows you to reset and focus on the present moment.

Cold Therapy for Winter Wellness

While it might sound extreme, cold therapy has been growing in popularity for its health benefits. Whether it’s a quick cold shower, a dip in an icy lake, or even a bracing swim in the sea, cold exposure can boost circulation, reduce inflammation, and even improve mood.

Winter is the perfect time to experiment with cold therapy, especially when followed by a warming self-care routine. Imagine a morning spent in crisp, cold air, followed by cosy hours at home with an Aery candle, a hot bath, and time for reflection...

Tech-Free Retreats

In an age where we are constantly connected, one of the most radical acts of self-care is switching off. A tech-free retreat, whether for a day or a whole weekend, offers a chance to disconnect from screens and reconnect with yourself. You don’t need to head to an expensive spa to achieve this – a simple retreat at home can do wonders for your wellbeing.

Set aside time to turn off your phone, avoid social media, and focus on activities that nourish your mind and body. Journaling, reading, meditating, or simply sitting in stillness with a candlelit room can help reset your energy and bring a sense of calm amidst the holiday rush.

Nature Retreats and Escapes

To take your winter wellness to the next level, a nature retreat might be just what you need. The UK offers a variety of stunning nature retreats that focus on mindfulness, relaxation, and connection to the environment. You could book a secluded cabin in the woods or a coastal shepherd hut, a mindful holiday escape allows you to unwind fully, away from the distractions of daily life.


This holiday season, gift yourself the time and space to recharge. By prioritising experiences that nurture your wellbeing, you can find balance and create meaningful moments, all while embracing the beauty of winter.
